EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the enchanting Japanese spirea, Astilbe japonica, as illustrated by Desire Bois for Edward Stepp's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The vibrant scarlet blooms of this Japanese spirea, also known as Astilbe carrula or Astilbe rocheana, are showcased against a lush green background, their delicate, feathery foliage adding to their ethereal beauty. Originating from Japan, Astilbe japonica was a popular addition to Victorian gardens and greenhouses due to its striking appearance and ease of cultivation. The plant belongs to the Saxifragaceae family and is characterized by its plume-like inflorescences, which are actually a cluster of tiny flowers. The chromolithograph technique used to create this illustration allowed for rich, vibrant colors and intricate detail, capturing the essence of this beloved Victorian flower. The surrounding flora in the illustration includes other popular garden and greenhouse plants of the era, such as the red-hot poker, Kniphofia uvaria, and the trailing succulent, Crassula coccinea. The Victorian gardening and horticulture scene is brought to life through the meticulous illustration, transporting us back to a time when the cultivation and appreciation of exotic flowers was a cherished pastime.
